<h1>Layout Technical Documentation: Primary Index</h1>
<p class="wip">Document Status: Work In Progress (attinasi)
<p>The goal of this document is to provide extensive links to documentation
on the Gecko Layout components and classes. There are two sections containing
links to the documents, and there is overlap between these sections by
design.   First, there is a '<a href="#TopicIndex">Topics</a>' section,
where  documentation   is listed by generic topics, more or less free-form
and ad-hoc.  Second, there  is a '<a href="#ClasscomponentIndex">Class and
Component</a>'  section, where  specific classes and components are listed,
mapping naturally  to the source  code. All documents should be indexed in
both sections, so  pick the index  that corresponds to what you are thinking
about. A <a href="#HowTo">Tech Notes section</a> is also included to help
contributors   find information on small topics and issues, including simple
'How To' cookbooks.
